The Tuscaloosa tornado of 2011 started at 4:43 PM on April 27 and ended at 6:14 PM.
No. The Tuscaloosa tornado of 2011 started in northern Greene County and ended in Jefferson County.
Tuscaloosa Warriors ended in 1964.
No. The Tuscaloosa tornado of 2011 was a high-end EF4. According to the survey results published from the National Weather Service the winds in that tornado fell about 10 mph short of an EF5. Interestingly, one article suggests that had the Tuscaloosa tornado occurred before the Enhanced Fujita scale was implemented in 2007 it would likely have been rated F5. However, the newer scale has more precise standards for ratings, and, by the slimmest of margins this tornado did not meet the EF5 standard. Looking at what this storm did, it was about as bad as a tornado can get without being an EF5. 4 other tornadoes that occurred on the same day were rated EF5.
From a historic perspective, the Tuscaloosa tornado of April 27, 2011 was a very significant event. While it was not the first major tornado to impact the Tuscaloosa area (a destructive F4 struck the area in 1932) area it was definitely the most significant. The more recent tornado was part of the 2011 Super Outbreak, the largest and most destructive tornado outbreak ever recorded. The tornado was rated an EF4, the second highest rating on the Enhanced Fujita Scale and in some areas came very close to being an EF5. With a death toll of 64 it was the second deadliest tornado in Alabama history and the 37th deadliest in U.S. history. Shattering the previous record of 49 deaths, it would have been Alabama's deadliest if it weren't for another tornado on the same day that killed 72 people. These two were the deadliest tornadoes to hit the U.S. since 1955 and, at the time, easily the deadliest in the era of modern forecasting, though these death tolls would be exceeded 3 weeks later by the devastating Joplin, Missouri tornado, which killed 158. At the time it occurred, the Tuscaloosa tornado was the costliest tornado in U.S. history, with damage amounting to $2.4 billion, dethroning the 1999 Oklahoma City tornado. However, this title would soon be lost, again to the Joplin tornado. The tornado injured over 1,500 people, the second highest since modern records began in 1950, beaten only by the Wichita Falls tornado of 1979. In terms of the history of the tornado itself, the Tuscaloosa tornado was produced by a very long lived supercell thunderstorm that first formed over Louisiana and dissipated over North Carolina, producing several very strong tornadoes. The tornado itself touched down in Greene County, Alabama about 20 miles southwest of Tuscaloosa and quickly moved northeast. It intensified after reaching the city, passing just south of downtown. The worst damage in Tuscaloosa was on the east side of town and was consistent with a high-end EF4 tornado. The tornado continued out of Tuscaloosa and across rural area before slamming into the suburbs on the north side of Birmingham where another 20 people died. Damage in the Pleasant Grove community was rated high-end EF4. The tornado then weakened but grew to an enormous size, reaching 1.5 miles wide as it crossed I-65. It then narrowed and continued to weaken, finally dissipating near Center Point.
The Tuscaloosa-Birmingham tornado of April 27, 2011 was one of the worst tornadoes ever recorded. It killed 64 people which marks it as the third deadliest U.S. tornado (after the Hackleburg and Joplin tornadoes of this year) in over 50 years and caused $2.2 billion in damage, marking it as the second costliest tornado in U.S. history. The tornado was officially a high-end EF4 with some damage approaching EF5, the highest possible rating. The damage path of the tornado was 80 miles long and 1.5 miles wide.
Unlike hurricane season there are not official limits to tornado season. However, generally tornado season lasts from lat march though June. However significant tornado outbreaks can occur at almost any time of year.
There were actually two tornadoes that hit Tuscaloosa, Alabama in 2011. The first was an EF3 on April 15 that caused some damage but no injuries or deaths. The second and better known one was a high-end EF4 (almost EF5) tornado that absolutely devastated the city on April 27, resulting in a total of 64 deaths, 1500 injuries, and $2.4 billion in damage.

There is no official beginning or end to tornado season, but it is generally considered to end in June. However, tornadoes are not limited to tornado season, it's just a time of higher tornado activity. Strong tornadoes can and have happened at all times of the year.
Presumably you are referring to the EF4 tornado that hit Tuscaloosa, Alabama on April 27, 2011. The tornado first touched down over open country about 3 miles north of Union, Alabama in Greene County and traveled northeast. It then entered Tuscaloosa county at EF2 intensity and continued to intensify. The tornado then entered the southwestern part city of Tuscaloosa at EF4 intensity. In continued across the community, passing south of the city center, devastating entire neighborhoods, with some damage rating at the upper end of EF4. The tornado then passed out of eastern Tuscaloosa, striking the southern part of the Suburb of Holt before weakening. From here the tornado continued traveling northeast, causing damage to trees and farmhouses. It then re-intensified to an EF4 as it struck Concord, a suburb of Birmingham. It then devastated the suburb of Pleasant Grove, staying north of Birmingham proper. Afterwards the tornado weakened to EF2 strength and struck the communities of McDonald Chapel, North Pratt, Hooper City, and Fultondale before finally dissipating west of Center Point, northeast of Birmingham. Overall this tornado carved a damage path 80 miles long and 1.5 miles wide. It killed 64 people and injured over 1500, making the second deadliest tornado in Alabama history, surpassed only by the Hackleburg tornado which killed 72 people on the same day. Damage totals are estimated at $2.2 billion, making it the second costliest tornado in U.S. history, exceeded only by the tornado that hit Joplin, Missouri less than a month later.
i think the answer is that the start time is 1900 and the end time is 1938
add start +Elapsed = and get end time
